It seems as though the injury occurred during batting practice,
as Hardy was in the original lineup. Ryan Flaherty moved to shortstop to
replace Hardy, with Jonathan Schoop inserted into the lineup at second base.

No other details are currently available about the severity
of Hardy’s injury.

Hardy was bothered by injuries earlier in the season, but
has been productive at the plate recently. He’s hit .283/.315/.388 in 108 games
this season, totaling 2.6 WAR.

Baltimore has hit well over the past few games, thanks in
part to Hardy’s hot streak. The Orioles quietly have the third-best record in
the American League and lead the New York Yankees by six games in the AL East.
